In shocking news for Allu Arjun’s fans and the creators of Pushpa 2: The Rule, the HD version of the blockbuster has been leaked online just two weeks after its theatrical release. The incident has left fans and the production team disheartened, as piracy continues to plague even the biggest pan-Indian releases.
Clips from the leaked print have started trending across social media platforms, adding to the urgency for the film’s team to take immediate action. What’s more troubling is that the leaked version is available in multiple languages, including high-quality formats, which significantly impacts not only the movie’s theatrical earnings but also Netflix, the platform that acquired the streaming rights for a record price.
Adding to the chaos, recent rumors speculated that Pushpa 2 would arrive on OTT within four weeks of its release. However, the makers officially confirmed yesterday that the film would stream only eight weeks after its theatrical debut to ensure a prolonged box-office run. Unfortunately, this piracy leak poses a severe challenge to those plans.
The Pushpa 2 team is expected to act swiftly to remove these unauthorized links and safeguard the interests of the film and its stakeholders. As fans rally in support, it remains to be seen how the producers and digital platforms combat this piracy crisis.
